Job description

Accredit Solutions is seeking a qualified sales development representative (SDR) to find and uncover potential customers who can benefit from our software solutions. You will be the first line of communication with prospective customers.

An ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the sales process, exceptional at researching leads, nurturing new relationships, and setting our sales team up for success. You must be a quick learner with excellent communication skills and able to present our offer in a compelling way. Your success will be recognized, as every potential customer is an opportunity to boost top-line revenue growth, customer acquisition levels, and profitability.

A bit about you:

Perhaps you’re a year or two into your role as an SDR, you’re booking meetings and demos for the sales team, meeting and exceeding your targets. But you want to make the step up and broaden your sales experience, with the opportunity to make the progression to a business development rep, should you deliver what you know you’re capable of.

You’re looking for coaching from expert sales professionals who can work with you to make you the best you can be but equally you might teach them a trick or two, and that’s cool too! You recognize your role will be predominantly inside but would relish the opportunity to progress from an inside sales role to an all-encompassing position that includes face-to-face and revenue ownership.

You might (but not necessarily important) have an interest in major league and collegiate sports and working in this market could be appealing to you.

Importantly, you want to be recognized for the excellent work you do, with the opportunity to learn but take responsibility for your own universe of prospective customers and design and run sales campaigns that get results.

And when you’re ready and have proven yourself, you want recognition from your managers that is time for you to take the next step in your career to becoming a revenue leader.
